| Popis: | Renal artery entrapment (RAE) by hypertrophic diaphragmatic crura is an extremely rare cause of renovascular hypertension (RVH). Here, we report the case of a 9-year-old boy diagnosed with RVH caused by right RAE by a hypertrophic diaphragmatic crus and successfully managed with close medical monitoring. Diagnosis of this entity is easily overlooked if the optimal views are not obtained during imaging, which depends on a high index of suspicion. We would like to remind clinicians to keep this rare condition in mind when evaluating children with RVH. |
